| - First visit. The sushi here is great.
Dynamite roll, Pokemon roll, Dirty Rockstar roll...all very good. Loved the jalapeno on the Dirty Rockstar.
From a food perspective, this place seems solid.
However, service needs major work.
The waitstaff is dressed like a Nine Inch Nails video, which may be a theme thing, so whatever. Chicks in torn pantyhose, if that's your edgy calling card, have at it. I'm fine with it. I'm a guy, what can I say?
But the professionalism of the staff is questionable. They hire young, attractive people who would otherwise be in an Abercrombie and Fitch, which I think is some kind of youth outreach program or something. I think the guy we had just quit Abercrombie that morning. Like, he was folding sweatshirts that morning, got hired and started at Squid Ink that night with no training.
He was a really nice guy, meant well, so I can't blame him.
I blame management.
We waited quite a while to put in our sushi orders while he was running around helping other tables. I even tried to yell out to him, but he must not have heard me.
When he did come over, he used a clean plate on our table to write notes on his order pad.
OK, that's not the end of the world, but it's pretty unclean.
All these little things just added up to poor training. If management reads these reviews, take note.
